This is part 2 of 2 from our summer vacation going west. We started in Colorado. I could vacation in Colorado every year, the Rockies are truly magnificent. I don't think I would ever tire of the scenery!

Well, it is Groundhog's Day, my Mother-in-Law's favorite holiday (she is a Punxsutawney native), and it looks like we will have another 6 weeks of winter, so what better time than to share some festive photos from our winter vacation! Over Christmas we visited Savannah, Myrtle Beach and Williamsburg, VA.

This year has been a blur and unfortunately I have used my phone camera more than my regular camera lately. I guess I have a good reason for that, since my last post I got engaged AND married! So much has happened! BUT in the midst of it all I also bought a new lens, and I LOVE it!

What does a photographer do on a snow day? Take a photo field trip of course! It was a short one because I still had to go to my real job, but J and I took a quick ride out to Norlo Park and found some magical scenes. I pretty much love them all. This is what makes winter appear like a fairytale or bedtime story - like the Polar Express.

Almost a month ago we took a weekend trip to Virginia to the Grand Illumination in Colonial Williamsburg. All the door and window decorations were fresh and lovely. I could not pass up the opportunity for creating photographic art.

The past few weekends have provided me the opportunity to enjoy my favorite season of all...FALL! The leaves changing colors to vibrant yellows, oranges and reds as well as the crisper air that brings relief from the summer humidity are some of the best aspects of autumn...

We visited the Maroon Bells in Aspen, Cataract Lake in Summit County, Rocky Mountain National Park and Clear Creek County to go white water rafting among other great things! If you haven't been to Colorado, at least to see the mountains, I highly recommend it.
